Normally I prefer to savor the insanity for a little while, let it settle before deciding whether or not it's worth adding anything to the spectacle. But I can definitely understand why you would want to reel this one in...<br /> About time somebody calls out PHA btw... They do have some beautiful parking lots though.... I hear they almost beat out Sue Moreau for the Parking Lot Enthusiasts of America, Lifetime Achievement Award...CarFreeMainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100391808184795478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254275556127802599.post-55531178361106188802012-01-26T06:37:10.571-05:002012-01-26T06:37:10.571-05:00Thanks, man!

And I'm glad I did, because in the end (and I assure you, I DID read it to the end, honest) you TOTALLY, 100% convinced me!<br /><br />I am therefore IMMEDIATELY putting my in-town home up for sale so that I can move to the suburbs, buy a second car, and spend thousands of dollars more every year to help Big Oil earn 11-figure profits!<br /><br />And isn't it just SO GRACIOUS of those oil companies to help finance these conspiracy theories that help perpetuate our indentured servitude to them?<br /><br />Oh, and though I'll be spending most of what I earn on a vehicle that sucks up my dwindling life with hours of tedium behind the wheel, I will be sure to invest the meager remains of my income in gold for my retirement.<br /><br />THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME THAT THIS FANTASTIC LIFESTYLE EXISTS, ANONYMOUS COMMENTER!C Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865122912479524567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254275556127802599.post-38531341650855314822012-01-26T01:00:14.520-05:002012-01-26T01:00:14.520-05:00Have you ever wondered why they termed it "sm...Have you ever wondered why they termed it "smart growth" - I mean, who could be against that, right? Easy to diminish a dissenting view... same for "Sustainable Anything".<br /><br />The facts are, this is a Communitarian view of planning... that's a nice way to say this is a way for your rights to be diminished for the "greater good".<br /><br />Don't believe me? Read a copy of "The Ideal Communist City" published by the former Soviet Union's University of Moscow (circa 1970) well before the UN came out with the Sustainable Development definition in 1987... But the book is chock full of all the current designer planning buzz-words like "high density, mixed-use walkable, livable, less-auto dependent communities"<br /><br />You should be very wary about a “Long Term Plan” – you could find your rights are abrogated at the hands of the communitarians, you know, those folks who want your plan to say ‘we must balance individual property rights with the potential rights of future generations” or other such mumbo-jumbo tripe that passes for “doing what’s best for the community” or the “greater good”…<br /><br />I am fighting a different battle in the same war... "Comprehensive Planning" on a local basis... you should google "Your Town/County" + "Comprehensive Plan" and read it... wrap your head with Duct Tape in case your head explodes...<br /><br />a few resources:<br /><br />http://americanpolicy.org/2011/03/31/agenda-21-in-one-easy-lesson/ <br /><br />http://americanpolicy.org/<br /><br />http://americanstewards.us/news-publications/coordination-works <br /><br />http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com/ (buy her book - Behind the Green Mask: UN Agenda 21 -great resource)<br /><br /><br />I am intent on creating a National Conference (in Nashville) to teach a hand-to-gland combat style "How To" 3-day intensive workshop style boot camp on how to use legal, political, grassroots and guerrilla warfare against Sustainable Anything...<br /><br />It is in the embryonic idea stage...
